going out on honours day

i'd dearly like to ramble on a lot more, but time grows short.

i think that sitting down for 3 hours together with the sec4 sailors and chin leong was worth pretty much more than the money we paid (even excluding kwong's monetary contribution), or even his award.

you just don't beat that.

why am i still doing chinese?
stupid tuition.

tomorrow's a big day. and i have to stay over at a chalet. do i have any hope of mugging there?

denise, i do not need to hear of your infatuations on my blog. keep your comments to your own blog, k?

And on my death bed I will pray
To the gods and the angels
Like a pagan to anyone who will take me to heaven
To a place I recall
I was there so long ago
The sky was bruised
The wine was bled
And there you led me on

In your house I long to be
Room by room patiently
I'll wait for you there
Like a stone
I'll wait for you there
Alone
Alone

And on I read
Till the day was gone
And I sat in regret
For all the things i've done
For all that i've blessed
And all that i've wronged
In dreams until my death
I will wander on

it is interesting to read thom posting about radiohead's progress in the studio.

major/minor key

but life is both a major and a minor key...

-travis.

sonnet version 1.2 (revised)

as i lack time, to pen a proper speech,

this humble poem wishes to suffice.
the most sincerest hope i have, that each
will lend a good ear; this is my advice.

these twenty years, surely no easy feat,
going through every high and every low.
making absolutely sure all ends meet.
without a doubt, we reap all that we sow.

tune the sails as and when wind calls for it.
though without direction, no wind there is
that is favourable. as you see fit,
seek joy,and peace of mind, this is my wish.

for my conclusion, please heed my council,
love, except in syllable, is plural.

-hurrah.

yesterday was a fucking terrible day for my specs to give up on me.

let me see... what upcoming events could be ruined by my lack of eyesight?
-today's ihs presentation -which went rather

well.

-honours day (which, come to think of it,

isn't that important)

-anniversary party (bloody important)
-exams (very bloody important)
-post-exam joy - going out, soccer, sailing

(most important)

thank goodness for backup, if slightly geeky, spectacles.

what's up with my eyes! i want contacts... but why the hell is it so dangerous?

i can't imagine what perfect eyesight is like.

totally regretting reading.

and stubbed toes, bloodclots.

anniversary

finally got the damn song.

this is an interesting post because it has three parts addressed to two people. go figure.

why do you have to make things so damn difficult for me?
your concern is unneccesary.
you put me through all this, despite knowing about the things i'm having to go through at this moment
it's not like i've done anything to deserve this
nor am i about to

next next saturday.

for the anniversary: sonnet version 1.0

as i lack time, to prepare a speech,

this humble poem wishes to suffice.
the sincerest hope i have, that each
will lend a good ear; 'tis my advice.

twenty years, surely no easy feat,
going through every high, every low.
making absolutely sure all ends meet.
without a doubt, one reaps what he sows.

every step of the way there was laughter

(under construction)

for my conclusion, please heed my council,
love, except in syllable, is plural.

peace out.

love is not a formula you can memorise. so thanks for helping it along. glad you could make it.

dilbert

dilbert is ultra funny...

found this archive on the net. i'll probably take forever finishing it...

pull the trigger and the nightmare stops

my ipod has essentially succeeded in cleaning itself out.

songs 0
capacity 37.1 gb
available 29.9 gb

when i am king...

you will be first against the wall.

holidays are disappearing fast.

I wanted freedom
Bound and restricted
I tried to give you up
But I'm addicted

Now that you know I'm trapped
Sense of elation
You'd never dream of
Breaking this fixation

excuse me, while i kiss the sky.

what will my blog do without lyrics?
what was i thinking.

silent statements

silent statements

i'm a nerd.

a sailing nerd.

i miss going overseas to sail... i enjoy having stories to tell after returning from a trip.

now that sentence needs to be put in the past tense. last time i went was what, batam? which hardly counts.

. . .

i probably won't be putting up anymore lyrics soon... i'm just hooked on instrumentals. no need to complain about any whiny voices anymore... i'm done with that.

just listen to explosions in the sky or mogwai. fascinating.

. . .

mom looks so cute. in the year 1974...

she was trying to compare her report book to mine... "(lol), i also didn't do well in geography."

maybe memories.
